Earthquake rattles Taiwan
Wed 10 December, 2003 05:01

TAIPEI (Reuters) - A strong earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale has rattled eastern Taiwan but there are no immediate reports of casualties or damage, the weather bureau says.

The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 4:38 a.m. British time on Wednesday, was about two miles west of Cheng Kung in Taitung county on eastern coast, at a depth of six miles, the Central Weather Bureau said in a statement.

Earthquakes occur frequently in Taiwan, which lies on a seismically active stretch of the Pacific basin.

2. They better watch what they say about independence.
They can't count on the US for disaster aid.

4. I've heard of this before,
Edited on Wed Dec-10-03 08:30 PM by kgfnally
but what I read was related more to battlefield communications supremacy than anything else. It was a type of particle discharged into the atmosphere over the battlefield that acted like a huge circuit hanging in the air. Comminucations between units were possible in any battlefield situation regardless of the conventional line-of-sight limits.

One wonders what such particles do when breathed.
